CSIRT Training

Welcome to CSIRT

We wouldn’t recommend reporting ANY incident(s) to US-CERT – They will not be able to provide you any assistance and/or help.

“Thank you for contacting US-CERT in reference to your request for information. Unfortunately, we cannot share actor information with non-government entities. I would recommend conducting open-source research to gather the information you need.”

CSIRT
is a privately held company located in Waldorf, MD.
CSIRT began business in 2001.

Many businesses have not given adequate consideration to
security issues during normal daily operations. CSIRT
serves to raise awareness among its customers of computer
security issues, and provides information for secure
protection of critical computing infrastructure and
equipment against potential organized computer attacks.

Organizations must share in the responsibility of
coordinating their response efforts with other similar
institutions. Gathering intelligence information from all
sources is a critical part of information infrastructure
protection. Networking in a trusted environment and
sharing incident information and detection and response
techniques can play an important role in identifying and
correcting weaknesses.

Risk Management

While the risks to computer security have increased,
businesses have also become more dependent on computers.
Many systems in widespread use today do not contain
safeguards to guarantee protection from these threats.
Additionally, as systems become more complex, they are
more prone to vulnerabilities that can increase the risk
of malicious exploitation. Due to greater availability
of computers, users are often de facto system managers,
however, many have neither the requisite skills nor time
to manage their systems effectively. These factors make
it clear that businesses need to support their computer
security capabilities before they suffer from serious
computer security problems that can harm their mission,
result in significant expense, and tarnish their image.

CSIRT Web Site

By establishing this site, we hope to provide security
professionals with the means to report, discuss, and
disseminate computer security related information to
others around the world. This site is intended to provide
information for reporting security incidents and
information on technical resources, and to disseminate
information quickly, accurately, and efficiently.

Incident Handling

We concentrate
the coordination of incident handling, thereby eliminating
duplication of effort. Our focus is to mitigate the
potentially serious effects of a severe computer
security-related problem. To achieve this goal, we
concentrate our efforts not only on the capability to
react to incidents but also the resources to alert and
inform its constituency.
